Vylo records meetings and turns them into searchable transcripts, summaries, and action items. It supports more than 18 Indian languages, including code-switching that produces English notes, and identifies speakers. Capture options include macOS, Android, and iPhone apps, Vylo Card hardware, audio-file import, and Zoom. The desktop app can record Zoom, Teams, and Meet calls without a bot joining. Vylo for Mac connects to Google Calendar for upcoming-meeting lists and reminders. Six summary formats include action plan, highlights, executive brief, and decision log. Vylo connects to Claude through MCP; the site says ChatGPT is coming soon and was in review. That Claude connection is read-only and limited to the user's meetings. Vylo says recordings and transcripts are encrypted, inaccessible to staff, and not used to train AI models. Free users receive full transcripts and summaries for 30 days, while recordings remain afterward. Vylo runs on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and the web.
